To ALL WHoM 1T MAY CONCERN:

Be it known that I, CLEMENT L. ENGLISH, of Cincinnati, in the county ofHamilton, and State of Ohio, have invented a new and improved BellowsPipe;- and I do hereby declare the following tovbea full, clenr, andexact description of the same, reference being had to the 'accompanyingdrawings, which are made part of this specification. f i v l Thisinvention relates to an improvement -in forge-bellows, and consists in apeculiar construction of the pipe or nozzle, whereby the blast isdischarged into the'ire. The flaring butt ol' the pipe is snugly fittedinto the wooden socket of the bellows, and this, in connectionv -with anannular flange or colla-r on the pipe,- serves to maintain atightjointboth -in use and transportatiun.v

Figure 1 is a perspective view of a. portion of a bellows, illustratingmy invention.

Figure 2 is alongitudiual section of the pipe and wooden socket.

Similar letters oi' reference indicate corresponding ports in the twofigures. v

In the drawings, A represents the bellows,'nnd B the blast pipe thereof;said pipe being made of cast or sheet metal. The flaring or taperingbutt B1(see iig. 2) ofthe pipe fits snugly Within the correspondingwoodenv socket C, which is made of a' plurality of separate pieces, toeuch` of which is hinged one oi' the boards or ilaps of which thebellows is composed. These socket-pieces being fitted and placed aroundthe butt of the pipe, are there held by the band D and other suitableappliances. B is an annular flange or collar formed on or applied tothepipe B, and bearing against the'outer end of the socket G. This flangeserves not only to strengthen the pipe at a point where it is usuallyliable to bend frcmwedglngbut it maintains a tight joint between thepipe und its socket, preventing the pipe from working loose, ahdeectuztlly closing the joint against the escape of air.

The above-described provisions, that is to say, the flaring butt and theflange, enable'me to furnish a bel lows whose pipe will not be impairedbyl the warping eli'ect of the heut upon the wooden` socket, or bytransportation or actual use. l

A Having thus described my invention, what I cla-im as new herein, anddesire to secure byLetters Patent, is A' bellows, having a pipe with thetapering or Haring butt Bl, and shoulder or'collar B2, applied and operating in the manner and for the purpose set forth. i

To the above specication of my new and improved bellows pipe l havesigned iny hand this 12th day of July, A. D. 1867.
